Latest reviews from our guests

Peter was great and put together a perfect itinerary to really get a sense of Sydney within just 4 hours. We did the tour on our first day, and it was the perfect way to orient ourselves with the city while we stayed for a few more days after. My wife also uses a wheelchair and Peter made sure everything we visited was accessible.

Malcolm was flexible with where we went and the pace of the tour. We saw areas of Sydney we would not have explored on our own, took us on a ferry trip to Watson’s Bay, bus trip around to Bondi beach, and light rail travel in the city.

We really enjoyed the fact that Peter reached out to us in advance to not only confirm the meeting place and time but also to inquire about us and a little more in-depth about what we would like to visit. During our tour he answered all our questions and provided local insight. He also provided helpful tips about local transportation and suggested a variety of other sights to see during our short stay in Sydney. Peter’s tour was a delightful beginning to our vacation!!

It was entirely engaging. It was like walking around Sydney with an old friend (from Sydney).
